Volcanic activity far underground warms mineral water springs that feed the many pools
and water features in Ischia's spa gardens.
There are others, but the best known are Negombo (near Lacco Ameno), Poseidon (on Citara
Beach, outside Forio) and Castiglione - on the road between Ischia Porto and Casamicciola
At most the season usually starts at Easter, and runs until late October.

Much of the shoreline around the island of Ischia is made up of beaches
- some of them the size of a pocket-handkerchief, others a mile or more.
Thanks to the winter storms, the sand will sometimes be moved up or down
the beach - so a spot that's wonderful one year may disappoint the next!
In August, you'll certainly need a watertaxi to find some solitude, but
at other times most of them aren't quite as crowded.
